I can't believe how easy this pretty salad is to make, says Carolyn Tomatz of Jackson, Wisconsin. The colorful blend of bananas, pineapple, pears and peaches and grapes is tossed with a creamy pudding sauce. People of all ages enjoy this dish, Carolyn notes. Ingredients:
1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened pineapple chunks |
1 can (15 ounces) reduced-sugar sliced pears, drained |
1 can (15 ounces) sliced peaches in juice, drained |
1-1/2 cups seedless red grapes |
1 package (3 ounces) cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix |
2 medium firm bananas |
3 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 jar (10 ounces) maraschino cherries, well drained |
Directions:
1. Drain pineapple, reserving juice in a 1-cup measuring cup. In a large bowl, combine the pineapple,pears, peaches and grapes. Cover and chill.
2. Add enough water to pineapple juice to measure 1 cup. Pour into a small saucepan. Whisk in pudding mix. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; set aside to cool to room temperature.
3. Slice bananas into a small bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice; gently toss to coast. Let stand for 5 minutes; drain. Add bananas and cherries to chilled fruit. Add cooled pudding; toss gently to combine. Refrigerate until serving. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 12 servings, 1/2 cup per serving.
